SKY 6 IS OVER THE GRIDLOCKED AREA ON I-4 NEAR MILE MARKER 124. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US, DAVE? IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MESS OUT HERE. I'M COUNTING 11 VEHICLES. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED. YOU COUNT FIVE VEHICLES THERE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT. THEY JUST KEEP GOING, NINE, 10, 11. THEN IN THE BACKLOG OF TRAFFIC, THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE ACCIDENTS THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY DIDN'T HIT THEIR BRAKES IN TIME. ONE VEHICLE SPUN OUT, HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE. TRAFFIC IS GETTING BY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. YOU CAN SEE A MILE OF A BACK-UP ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE. YOU THINK THAT'S BAD? NO, NOT NECESSARILY. LET'S GO BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. GIVE ME A SECOND. IT'S GOING TO TAKE ME A SECOND TO GET THERE. THERE WAS ANOTHER FENDER BENDER ON THE EASTBOUND SIDE. TWO VEHICLES INVOLVED ON THIS. NOW, THIS ACTUALLY HAS A MUCH LARGER BACK-UP THAN THE WESTBOUND SIDE, THOUGH THE WESTBOUND SIDE HAS ABOUT 11 CARS INVOLVED. LOOK HOW FAR BACK THIS TRAFFIC STRETCH IS. A VERY BAD SITUATION HERE ON I-4 IN BETWEEN DAYTONA BEACH AND De LAND. SO IF YOU CAN AVOID I-4, I WOULD

Troopers said four of the crashes happened on the westbound side of I-4 and five of the crashes occurred on the eastbound side.

A preliminary count had a total of 26 cars that were involved in the crashes, according to FHP.

Most of the collisions were rear-end collisions and some of the crashes remain under investigation, troopers said.

At least three people were transported with non-life threatening injuries, but that number could go up as troopers talk to victims at the hospitals, officials said.
